This year's E3 saw what could be said to be the best line-up of Xbox games in the console's history - and we saw every single one. From the expected titans like Halo 5 and Gears 4 to new IPs like Sea of Thieves and ReCore, we have offer our verdict of everything Xbox has to offer. There's a lot.

Inside, you'll find out what a cyber-renaissance looks like, how Mankind is definitely not (just) an action game, and how many new bits of kitchen appliances Adam Jensen's had stuck to him this time.
Gearbox's cartoon shooter might look like an FPS MOBA - in fact, it very often plays exactly like an FPS MOBA - but you can count on there being more at work than you'd expect.
